Sunrise at Ingonish

I took this photo on July 8, 2013 while on vacation with my family in Nova Scotia, Canada.  Ingonish is a beach town on beautiful Cape Breton Island, where my wife was born.  She has fond memories of this beach!  In the upper left is the Keltic Lodge resort, with beautiful views of the rocky Cape Breton shoreline.

I've wanted to take a photo like this for a while, and this vacation seemed like a good opportunity to give it a try.  To capture this image, I used a neutral-density filter and the lowest ISO setting on my camera.  That allowed me to use a nice, slow shutter speed of 14 seconds.
